Yeah, my only qualm is the extra days-take-offage. The way next semester's shaping up, though, the F2F is going to be a few weeks after my prelims, so it may be a much-needed escape.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've done Detroit to NO and back -- once slowly, once fast. Fast was pretty horrible, slowly was kinda boring.

How many hours was that?

Fast was 4pm to about 10 am the next day. Slow was three days, no night driving.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Hey, beathen, let's drive down to NOLA! It's only like twenty hours
ROADTRIP!!! I've never done one that long with non-relatives - could be fun!
I'm thinkin' of driving. And yes, I've driven Chicago to NO and back before
If people are gonna carpool I'd definately get in on it, although we couldn't drive my car - it wouldn't survive that trip. I don't think it'd be a problem to get a few days off from work since I'm not planning any days off from January to April anyway.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Re F2F activities: It should be noted, for clarity's sake, that the bowling expedition at the LA F2F was bowling with feathers, ballgowns and tiaras, and was either immediately preceded or immediately followed by a field trip to Sephora.

I think it was predecessed. It was in the mall, I remember that, because I went to Sephora with Jilli and Plei, and bought nifty shoes with Sean.

It was a glorious thing. Jilli stamping her feet petulantly at pins refusing to drop, Fay giggling like a mad thing, JZ in her Victorian gown, calling up Holli on the phone.
